Kawakami Stays Quiet

by Patrick Newman (Jan 9, 2009)

Word on the street is that Kenshin Kawakami is nearing a deal with the Braves. For his part, Kenshin is staying quiet. Nikkan Sports has this comment from
the pitcher: "Basically I can't say anything. In the end it is me that
will decide, but I don't want to disrupt the people who are
negotiating."

While we wait for a resolution, let's enjoy this footage from
Kawakami's last regular season appearance in 2008, a start in which he
held the Yokohama BayStars scoreless over six innings. (English box score courtesty of JapaneseBaseball.com).
